Abstract

Congenital choledochal cyst is a rare disease, especially in fetal life and early infancy age. Our case was a 66 days old female baby who had the symptoms of jaundice, clay-colored stool, intermittent vomiting since birth and abdominal distension. Final diagnosis was choledochal cyst with neonatal hepatitis. An early accurate preoperative diagnosis has been associated with a marked decrease in the mortality. Roux-en-Y choledochocystojejunostomy was done. We presented the case with the brief review of the literatures.
